Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine

The Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine (PSPU) is a Marxist-Leninist political party in Ukraine, founded in 1996 as a dissenting faction of the Socialist Party of Ukraine. The party was socially conservative, and the party had a pro-Russian stance. The PSPU sought to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO, give the Russian language an "official language" status, and annul President Viktor Yanukovych's decrees on who could be awarded the title "Hero of Ukraine", and the party supported the Russian intervention in Ukraine after 2014.
